Just moved into a Surrey townhouse in Newton, had a key go missing, or finished a tenancy? A lock change or rekey in Surrey gets your locks under your control today — mobile tech comes to you, no waiting at a shop.
When you move into a home in Surrey — whether it's a Guildford strata, a South Surrey detached, or a Cloverdale townhouse — you have no way of knowing who else holds a copy of the current key. A rekey or a full lock change fixes that in under an hour, without needing to replace your hardware.
Rekeying changes the internal pins inside your existing lock cylinder so the old key no longer works and a new key is cut to match. It costs less than buying new hardware and achieves exactly the same security outcome. A lock change makes sense when the hardware itself is worn, damaged, low-grade, or simply not what you want — we supply and fit Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts and handle sets to BC building code.
These are typical Surrey market ranges — not a quote. Actual cost depends on hardware type, number of locks, and whether we supply new cylinders or hardware. We quote on the phone before dispatching.
| Job type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Rekey — single deadbolt | $65–$95 |
| Rekey — two locks (deadbolt + knob), same door | $90–$130 |
| Rekey — whole house (3–5 locks) | $140–$220 |
| Lock change — deadbolt supply & install (mid-grade) | $150–$260 |
| Lock change — high-security Grade 1 deadbolt | $220–$380 |
| Extra key cuts (per key, on-site) | $8–$18 |
Tell us the number of doors, your general address in Surrey, and whether you want a rekey or a lock change. We quote a range on the call — no obligation.
A licensed mobile locksmith comes to your Surrey address, inspects the hardware, confirms the scope, and gives you a final price before touching anything.
Most single-door jobs take 20–40 minutes. We hand you the new keys on-site, test every lock, and clean up before we leave.
Surrey has an enormous range of housing stock — from older mid-century homes in Whalley with original 1960s hardware to brand-new strata buildings in Fleetwood and Clayton Heights with modern lever sets. The right call depends on the hardware you have.
Rekey if: your deadbolt is a recognised brand (Schlage, Kwikset, Weiser, Yale), it's in good working condition, and the cylinder hasn't been drilled, forced, or compromised. Rekeying is cheaper and faster, and the security outcome is the same — the old key is dead.
Replace if: your lock is a no-brand builder-grade unit, visibly worn or stiff, a knob-only setup with no deadbolt, or you want to upgrade to Grade 1 security. Surrey building code for exterior residential doors requires a deadbolt with a minimum 25 mm bolt throw — a lot of older hardware in the city doesn't meet that standard.
Tenant changeovers in Surrey are one of the most common reasons we get called. BC tenancy law doesn't prohibit changing locks between tenancies — it's standard practice to protect new renters and limit landlord liability. We work efficiently with property managers across Newton, Guildford, and Fleetwood who need multiple units turned around on the same day. For strata buildings that manage common-area access, we can also rekey or pin master key systems so a single master key works for the strata manager while individual suite keys are separate.
Call ahead and let us know it's a multi-unit job — we'll bring a selection of cylinders and hardware to minimise extra trips.
